Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Madl is a Vienna-based software engineer and founder with 12 years of experience building performant, production-ready systems across embedded, machine translation, and cloud-native domains. He blends algorithmic optimization and information-retrieval expertise with hands-on engineering—ranging from low-level device drivers and CUDA ports to automating CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments. As a co-founder of a digital health startup he prototyped camera-based cardiovascular diagnostics and ran dozens of user tests, and in research roles he optimized phrase-based MT and contributed bug fixes and maintainability improvements to the well-known Moses machine translation project. Comfortable switching between business-facing solution architecture and deep technical implementation, he also has a background in post-silicon validation and performance testing for enterprise customers. His work shows a pattern of turning research and prototypes into robust, measurable systems while keeping an eye for pragmatic automation and process metrics.
